Theophile Gautier

226pp.; 18.7 x 12 cm. Paper wraps printed in black.

Part of Sources, I

From the library of A. David Moody

  Turned from the “eau-forte
  Par Jaquemart”
  To the strait head
  Of Messalina:

  “His true Penelope
  Was Flaubert,”
  And his tool
  The engraver’s.

    — 1920 (Mauberley)

A later edition of the Édition Définitive (first in 1872) which carries this eau-forte by J. Jacquemart. With a note in pencil by A.D.M. to the title page to this effect. Lacking the front cover; some loss to the paper covering the spine, but sound. In a paper envelope with a note in ink referencing “Mauberley 1920.”
